Chapter V: Transportation
Transportation CHAPTER V: TRANSPORTATION A. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS Located at the junction of Interstate 91 and Interstate 95, as well as a key access point to the Northeast Corridor rail line, New Haven is the highway and rail gateway to New England. It is the largest seaport in the state and the region and also the first city in Connecticut to have joined the national complete streets movement in 2008 by adopting the City’s Complete Streets Design Manual, balancing the needs of all roadway users including pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. Journey to Work Data For a U.S. city of its size, New Haven has substantial share (45 Aerial view of New Haven seaport: largest in the state and the region. percent) of commuters who use a form of transportation other than driving alone. Approximately 15 percent of all commuters travel via carpool, close to 14 percent walk to work, while over 11 percent use a form of public transportation. Of the 10 largest cities in New England, only Boston has a higher percentage of residents who travel to work via non-motorized transportation. Also, out of this same group of cities, New Haven ranked highest in the percentage of people who walked to work. New Haven Vision 2025 V-1 Transportation Vehicular Circulation There are 255 miles of roadway in the city, ranging from Interstate highways to purely local residential streets. Of these roadways, 88 percent are locally-maintained public roads and 12 percent are state-maintained roads and highways. There are 43 locally- maintained bridges in the city. -

The Shanachie, Volume 25, Number 1
Vol. XXV No. 1 Connecticut Irish-American Historical Society 2013 www.ctiahs.com Paddy & Bridget & Wooster Square In the late 1820s, Irish immigrants established one of the first two ethnic neighborhoods in New Haven at Chapel and Chestnut streets near Wooster Square. This Shanachie is devoted entirely to the story of that enclave and the thriving Irish neighborhood it became throughout the rest of the 19th century. St. Patrick’s Church at Grand and Wallace was for Irish immigrants the religious and ethnic center of the Wooster neighborhood.

I arrived at this topic through the inspired instruction and consistent support of Trinity’s American Studies faculty. Grounded in the historical and contextual foundation provided by courses like Professor Baldwin’s “Race and Urban Space” and Professor Tang’s “Urban Mosaic,” I learned to critically analyze the forces and conditions that shape New Haven—the City where my family has lived for over 35 years. The Trinity faculty helped me carve out an academic niche that leaves a lasting imprint on how I understand the world. My work began upon approval of my thesis at the end of my junior year. From that point forward, I worked to advance my understanding of the current composition and historical legacy of New Haven’s urban landscape. -

Introduction Supported by a survey and planning grant from the History Division of the Connecticut Commission on Culture & Tourism, this overview of modern architecture and planning in New Haven is the first phase of a comprehensive project sponsored by the New Haven Preservation Trust. The intent is to investigate how and why the city became the center for one of the country’s most aggressive modern building programs of the post-World War II era, attracting a roster of internationally recognized architects and firms considered to be among the greatest leaders of the modernist movement. Although the architectural heritage of this city includes fine examples of early 20th- century contemporary design predating the war, the New Haven story relates most directly to the urban renewal years of the 1950s to 1970s and their dramatic reshaping of the city skyline during that period. -

X. APPENDIX B – Profile of City of New Haven
X. APPENDIX B – Profile of City of New Haven Welcome to New Haven! Strategically situated in south central Connecticut, New Haven is the gateway to New England, a small city which serves as a major transportation and economic hub between New York and Boston. Justly known as the cultural capital of Connecticut, New Haven is a major center for culture and entertainment, as well as business activity, world‐class research and education. As the home to Yale University and three other colleges and universities, New Haven has long been hub of academic training, scholarship and research. Anchored by the presence of Yale University and numerous state and federal agencies, New Haven is a major center for professional services, in particular architecture and law. And drawing on a spirit of Yankee ingenuity that dates to Eli Whitney, New Haven continues to be a significant manufacturing center; the city is home to high‐tech fabrics company Uretek, Inc., Assa Abloy, makers of high tech door security systems, and a vibrant food manufacturing sector. In 2009, surgical products manufacturer Covidien announced its headquarters and 400 Executive and support positions would relocate to New Haven’s Long Wharf. In 2013, Alexion Pharmaceuticals announced its plans to construct a 500,000sf global headquarters for its growing biotech company which will open in 2015. More importantly, the City of New Haven and its partners are investing for the future and despite the worst recession of the post‐World War ii era, New Haven is thriving and is in the midst of one of the strongest periods of business growth in decades.
